Chapter Four

The Wedding and Reception

Gaara stood nervously by the monk, he couldn't stand being so nervous, Sakura however was crying with joy when she came to Gaara's side, Tsunade posing as her 'mother' and Sakura hooked arms with him. Gaara barely noticed the monk talking, but, somehow, he managed to say and do the right things at the right times. With the ceremony completed, they were announced a married couple and kissed. Gaara was just glad it was over, Sakura was happy that the entire Leaf Village came to the wedding. Temari was right, the entire Leaf Village was her friend as they shared her sadness.

Tsunade was talking to Gaara and Sakura when Jiraiha appeared by Tsunade's side looking confused. "What's with you two?" He asked, Sakura giggled, Tsunade didn't tell him about her and Gaara.

"They're married that's what." Tsunade said. Jiraiha looked even more confused, but then he saw a couple of cute women and started drooling. Tsunade sighed and, before he could follow the girls, pulled Jiraiha by his ear and walked away. Gaara shook his head and Sakura laughed as the old pervert was pulled away.

As they were walking together, Sakura and Gaara notice some commotion by the village gates. Confused and curious they walked over to the gate to hear cries of glee. Sakura gasped and saw blond hair, Ino's hair. She ran to the front of the crowd and started to cry in joy. Her friends were back, all of them, Ino, Shikamaru, Hinata, Neji, Choji, Tenten, Shino, Kiba and Akamaru, but Naruto was dead. Sakura knew this but still, she was happy to see the rest of her friends back.

"Sakura!" Ino said in surprise, Sakura was hugging her, crying. "Whats wrong Sakura?" she asked.

"I-I thought y-you had b-been k-killed!" Sakura cried. Ino looked down at Sakura, then her dress.

"So who is it?" Sakura looked up, "Who are you married to then?" Sakura smiled ran into the crowd and came back with Gaara in tow. Ino and the others gasped, Sakura had married Gaara. Ino smiled and greeted Gaara.

"Hn." was all he said, Sakura giggled and held Gaara's arm, resting her head on him.

"Do you know where Naruto is?" Kiba asked, "We searched all over for him but we couldn't find him." Sakura started to cry, this time it was sadness. The others were frozen,

"H-he's," Sakura burst out crying and buried her face in Gaara's chest.

Gaara answered for her, "Naruto's dead." Hinata froze, and she too, cried. Tenten went over to Neji and held him tightly, also starting to cry.

"What did I do now?" A voice behind them said, Sakura immediately turned around, slowly, with everyone else. Naruto was grinning right in front of them. Sakura ran to Naruto, hugged him, and cried.

"Naruto," Sakura gasped, "how? How are you still alive?" Naruto looked down at Sakura,

"I don't die that easily, when I told the fox to give me all it's power, he didn't. Obviously he thought that if he gave me all it's power, he too would die." Naruto smiled at Sakura, "Sasuke is dead by my hands." Sakura looked up at him, tears flowing freely. Gaara decided at that moment to take Sakura back from Naruto, causing Sakura to stop crying and look up at Gaara, smiling.

Neji looked at Tenten, he was confused,

'What just happened here? She just came to me and started crying on me.' Tenten looked at Neji and blushed, the tears were dried now. 'This is way too confusing.' Neji thought, 'I'll ask Gaara what she meant through hugging me.' Shino had remained unmoving during all of this, as usual, and Akamaru and Kiba were also shocked when Tenten had hugged Neji.

Sakura moved to Suna to live with Gaara, Gaara was the Kasekage and couldn't fulfill his duties in Konoha. Neji and Tenten soon were a couple, along with Naruto and Hinata. Ino created a relationship with Kiba, and Shikamaru with Temari. Lee and Shino remained single, Shino by choice, and Lee had no luck or talent in finding a girl to love.

"Sweetie?" Sakura said, Gaara looked up from his work, she was blushing.

"Yes?" He asked, Sakura smiled and put a hand on her belly.

"I'm pregnant."

To be continued.
